COMPARISON OF THE BXPORTS. ‘The following shows the exports, exclusive of ecie, from New York te foreign ports for the k ending February 4 and, simce the beginning @f the year:— For the week.. 1871. 1872, 1873, Prev. reported... 18,704,182 14,565,349 17,411,481. Bince Jan. 1. $21,940,763 $19,065,417 $23,023,181 ; THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS, The Treasury inaugurated the February pro- gramme to-day with an offer to purchase a million of five-twenties, The tenders, as usual of late, ‘Were less than the amount advertised for, the total being $952,950 at 113.21 a 113.74. The price of gold ‘was taken to be 113%¢, which limit confined the acceptances to $518,250 at 113.21 a 113.37. THE NEW LOAN. The American agents of the Syndicate report that the national banks subscribed largely to-day to the new five per cents and in excess of their subscriptions yesterday. The progress of the loan 4in Europe is reported simply as “satisfactory,’’ Dut as yet no details in the way of figures are given. The limitation of the time during which the books will remain open is the reason jigned for the withholding of specific information as te the extent ‘of the subscriptions from day to day, as obvious Injustice might be done to parties who were the Girst to send in their applications. Itis the CUSTOM IN EUROPE, where these large negotiations are an everyday Matter, tokeep secret the progress of subscrip- tions until the books are closed. It is true that last year, when tke Syndicate were engaged in a Bimilar transaction, they reported their progress from time to time, but on that occasion they kept the books open for no fixed period, but reserved the right te close them at any moment. Their silence as to figures tm the present instance is no indication of the failure of the undertaking, which is justas likely to be a startling success. Still the point of reticence on the partef the Syndicate is skilfully sed for speculative purposes in the Wall street markets. Four o'clock Friday afternoon, or at forthest ten o'clock Saturday moruing, will solve the mystery. THE FOREIGN MARKET. ‘The London market for the day has shown un- favorable quotations for Unised States sceurities, ail of which have declined +s a % per cent, the lat- ter extreme being reached in the case of the new fives, which went off te 903 against 91% the pre- vious day. Onthe other hand, consols have been firm at a slight improvement. The open street rate for money on consols was reported, to be down to Bx per cent. Eric shares were actively weak, and @echined from 53'4 to 62, but closed at a rally to $25,, equivalent to 66 in our currency, French rentes were buoyant and higher in Paris, MONEY ACTIVE. The money market was active, but, as compared with Tuesday, a shade easier. The rate on call ran-as high as 1-32 and interest early. in the day, but dropped quite suddenly to 6 a7 per cent in the afternoon, only to harden again to7 a7 coin be- fore the close of dealings on the sidewalk. Mer- cantile paper is slower of sale, but the quotation for prime names remains 8 a9 percent. Boston buyers, who take a good deal of the paper made here, have advanced their terms '; per cent above the average. Foreign exchange was quiet and dull on the basis of 1099, for prime bankers’ sixty day sterling and 110%; for sight bilis. SOUTHERN SECURITIES BETTER. ‘The Southern State bonds underwent @ reaction for the Tennessees, which recovered to 82%. The Missouris advanced to 94 and New South Carolinas Bold at 22, The sudden dechme Tuesday in the Tennessees is now attributed to the decision of the State Courts compelling the State anthor- $2,636,581 $4,500,068 $5,611,700 WEW’ YORK’ HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. 100 Atlantic MSE Co...

GOLD STRONG—113% a 113%, The gold clique made further and skilful use of the reticence‘ of the Syndicate as to the progress of the negotiation of the new loan in Europe, and especially of the sharp decline in the new five per cents already on the London market, which facts they employed to so much advantage as to enable them to advance. the price of gold a further one- half per cent to 113%. At the same time the scarcer supply of cash gold intimidated an addl- tienal covering of short contracts, the gold for which appeared to be supplied by the clique, whose movements toward the close of the day betrayed less confidence, for some reason, in the success of ‘their speculation. Under these circumstances there was a reaction to. 113%, but the last sales The Sub-Treasury paid out $176,000 on account of interest on the public debt, The course of the market is shown in the table:— GOLD FLUCTUATIONS, &C. + 3% 2 P. 2 1133g 113% 113% 113% 118 + 18% + 118% 113% a 113% 1PM » 13% In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 3 per cent for carrying to 1-64 for borrowing. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol- lows:— Gold cleared Gold balance: 1,487,800 Currency balances. 1,888,915 The election in the Gold Board for First Vice Presi- deut im place of Mr, Hoyt, resigned, resulted in the choice of Mx, E, T, Bragaw, who received 119 votes, his opponents being J. D, Mills and D. W. C, Taylor, who received 68 and 54 votes respectively. The following gentiemen were elected a new Executive Committee :—B. K. Stevens, James Curphey, ©. H. Ward, W. B. Bend, John Wallace, C. Kollstede and J. D. Schultz, Jr. GOVERNMENTS STRONG. The government list was strong despite the un- favorable quotatiens from London, and the 67's and 68's were a trifle liigher. The new fives were excep- tionally lower, at 11344, when gold was 11334. The fol- Jowing were the closing quotations:—United States currency sixes, 1153, a 1164 ;do. do., 1881, registered, 11744 a 11734; do. do., coupon, 118% a 119; do. five- twenties, registered, May and November, 1144 a 1153 do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 114% a 115; do. do., 1864, do. do., 11434 2.115; do. do., 1865, do. do., 11534 a 11545; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 41147 ; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 114. 1145 do. do., 1867, de, do., 11634 a 11674; do. do., 1868, do, do., 1165; a 116% ; do. ten-forties, registered, 11114 a 1113, & do., coupon, 1147 a 11544; do. fives of 1881, Mgistered, 113 a@ 1133,; do. do.,. coupon, 11334 @ 115%. STOCKS DULL AND LOWER. The stock market was dull and weak and prices during the earlier hours of the day were lower in almost all directions. The chief decline was m Erie, which, on a rumor that ne dividend would be paid on the preferred stock—a rumor that seems to have travellag across the Atlantic at the same time—went off to 6534, the preferred shares reced- ing to 80. Meantime Western Union, which had gone of to 833,, Was taken in land by its pool and suddenly advanced to 9434, the rise evoking the rumor afresh that COMMODORE VANDERBILT | was its chief buyer, his interest being personal as well as pecuniary, and his more especial object the “cornering” of Jay Gould and Horace F. Clark, toward whom his feelings are represented as hav- ing been exceedingly hostile ever since they formed their alleged copartnership in the North- Western speculation, and more recently im the enterprise to consolidate Erie with Lake Shore. Pacific Mail was depressed by the introduction of a bill in the Legislature to repeal the bill sanctioning the reduction of the capital stock to ten millions, Harlem was lower at 11834 a 119.

The CHESAPEAKE AND OHI®, the CENTRAL PA- CIFIC and WESTERN PACIFIC BONDS, all of which ‘¢ been negotiated by us, we believe to be among the best and most desirable investment securities in the mar- ket, which in time must become very scarce; especially as the government will probably pay off, im gold, $300,000,000 five-twenties, and a large amount of moncy thus released from investment must find its way into this class of securities, The CHESAPEAKE AND ONTO SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS, the total amount of which is only $15,000,000, are secured upon a property worth $35,000,000 to $40,000,000, and are fully equal in intrinsic value to the | | | | Central Pacific bonds. They are issued in denominations of $100, $500 and $1,009, coupon or registered, and at their present market price (963 and accrued interest) are very desirable. The CENTRAL PACIFIO SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS are too well known to require description or commendation. Their total amount is $25,885,000; they have for a long time ranged in market price near or above par. Their price to-day is 108% to 108%, The WESTERN PACIFIC SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS amount to $2,735,000.

You expect trem me the taich- ful periormance of my duties, and { shall. also expect ia return from you the necessary support. Our organiza. tion, being “iuil, can pow be considered under wa: more ey, trom the fact that trom the first inte’ tion of starting the same only one month has expired and our roll ot membership now adds up over two hun- dred and torty firms. Our work, however, has not been yet consummated. Our institution must increase with careful and proper management, ye on a sonal MresponsiDlity im its pursuit x further prosperity, and by keeping their eyes open to our advancement in that, we may be justified in consolin our association that it must and shall be equal in stan ing andin name to any f the like in the city. ‘Ihe posi: tion to which L have been elected, although wusolicited, I fully appreciate, and will use my bese judgment in ad- vaticing the sume, You will, I trust, pardon my uninten- tional errors—for errors { must make—and 1 hope to Fecelve at your hands the lenleney which, if older in ex: perience, Would assist me to guard against. I shall at all times be’ prepared to give a liberal hearing to auy sug- gestions for our information trom memvers, and have the sume brought betore the motive of the proper officers for their consideration; and 1 also wish to inpress upow your minds that, although I am President, 1 will not fore Get that 1am also your servant.

M, JAIL BREAKING, Desperate Efforts of Prisoners to Escape from the Queens County Jail—Unsuce cesful Attempt to Kill the Jailor. On Tuesday evening adesperate attempt was made bya number of prisoners confinéd in the Queens Couaty Jail to make their escape from that institution. For some time past it has been cus tomary to allow the prisoners confined in the lower tier of ceils the freedom of the hall during ‘the day, locking them up in their cells only during the night. Confined on this tier are some of tha most desperate criminals m the jai, At seven o'clock on the evcaing mentioned the jailor, Mr. Stringham, went his rounds, as usual, to lock the prisoners up for the hight after making the customary inspection of the cells Among those confined on the lower tier were Gus Coek, colored, William Keefe and a man named Sterling, awaiting trial on the charge of horse stealing. As Mr. Stringham entered t hall these three worthies were hot to be seen, and he supposed that they were in their cells, but in this he was mistakcu. His avsistaut had just closed and locked the hall door behind him to prevent their escape while he was locking them up, when one of them, William Keefe, who had been con- cealed behind the door, struck Stringham two werful blows on the head with a heavy stone, tied Lg a piece of blanket, knocking hifn senseless, Keefe’s confederates, Cook and Sterling, then. en. deavored to force the door opening irom the cell hall into the main hail, Stringham’s assistant, however, had by this time summoned help, which now opportanely arrived, and the prisoners, after a desperate las dae were Cinbs bed into their ceils and locked up. Mr Stringham was at once'removed to his room, and medical attendance was procured, Upen search. ing the cell of Cook nearly two wheelbarrow loadg of stone that had been removod from tne founda. tion wall were jound, the hole from which it had been taken being hidden from sight by the pris« oner's bed, The passage thus discovered led to the outer wail of the jail, the masonry of which is of such a heavy nature that the prisoners had been unable to make any impression upon it, and had been obliged to desist irom tueir operations in that direction. ‘The other prisoners confined on the same corridor deny all knowledge of the attempt of their companions to escape. A paper of Cayenné ytd was also found in Keete’s ceil, intended to e used, no doubt, in blinding the keeper, Mr. Stringham’s condition is regarded as quite dau gerous.
